Prof. Nandini Patel, Adjunct Professor of International Relations at Malawi School of Government, Africa and Chairperson of IPI said, "The global BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement seeks to address Palestinian rights by non-violently pressuring Israel through boycotts, divestments, and sanctions”.

“It draws inspiration from the anti-apartheid movement and aims to end Israeli occupation, secure equal rights, and promote Palestinian refugees' right to return. The movement has gained global support but also faces controversy and criticism”, she added.
